The MSI GE70 laptop is friends with Windows XP Operating System 32-bit

Installed Windows XP Operating System 32-bit on a MSI GE70 laptop running i7-3630QM microprocessor , NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660M 2GB GDDR5 and with16 GB of main memory is okay. Windows XP Operating System 32-bit only recognised maximum 4GB of main memory eventhough I had 16GB of main memory. After installation of the Windows XP OS 32-bit , I installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 because some software require the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 to be present before we can install other software.

Installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 as shown below after installing the Windows XP Operating System 32-bit on the MSI GE 70 laptop

Graphics Driver for Windows XP Operating System 32-bit on the MSI GE70 laptop is okay. It is not much of a problem. Installed HD Graphics Driver for Windows XP 32-bit Version: 14.51.10.5436, which is, winxp_145111.exe, on the MSI GE70 laptop running Windows XP 32-bit. After the installation of the driver, I can get a good resolution on my MSI GE70 laptop. In fact I can get a high resolution on my MSI GE70 laptop running Windows XP OS 32-bit but I prefer a lower resolution on my MSI GE70 laptop. With the INTEL HD Graphics Driver 14.51.105436 , I can also connect my MSI GE70 laptop to my PHILIPS 32 inch LED TV via HDMI cable.
